I have an answering machine’s microcassette stashed in case a psycho comes back to haunt me. This shit DEFINITELY existed 30 years ago, just in a different form.
Maybe consider digitizing that cassette, or at least listening to it to make sure it’s still usable (assuming you can stomach it). Cassette mediums degrade over time and it’s quite possible that microcassete could be reaching the end of its usable life: …wikipedia.org/…/Preservation_of_magnetic_audiota…
I played the fullsize Super Off Road this Friday at our local barcade.
It is generally fun mayhem, but sometimes a frustrating airborne collision will set you back half a lap. Easy to win 6-8 races on 1 credit(was probably on lowest difficulty) .
I still prefer Championship Sprint overall, for the precise control, full slide turns and the shortcut jumps. (Plus laying down awesome donuts by constantly spinning the wheel)
Special mention to Badlands which adds guns and an apocalyptic theme.
Or the original Sprint series that had no speed-limiter, which made for hilarious out of control death drifting.
Similar top quality games on home computer were:
Supercars II on the Amiga, top multiplayer action.
and
Slicks ‘n’ Slide for DOS. 3-4 player on a single keyboard with excellent drift physics, just brilliant!
That’s interesting! I’ve heard aussies refer to that campaign/guideline a lot and I’ve always heard it as “slip slap slop”, which follows the rule but doesn’t make sense as the order of activities. I don’t know whether they reverted to the vowel order when talking casually, or if they said it right and I subconsciously ‘corrected’ it in my memory.
